The president of the Austrian Association of Serbian Folklore (ASSF), Aleksandar Stankovi\u0107, as a representative of the organization gathering the largest number of folklore societies in Austria and a member of the board of directors of the Association of Serbian Diaspora Folklore (ASDF), attended the extraordinary electoral assembly of this organization where the new president was elected. The Serbian diaspora folklore association is an organization that gathers folklore societies members of the federations from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France, Romania, Slovenia and Croatia.<\/p>\n
\u2018I congratulate the newly elected president, Nenad Milenkovi\u0107, and I hope that, during his term, through joint work we will achieve significant results in promoting Serbian folklore, tradition and culture, but also in representing the interests of our people in all countries where our diaspora lives. So far, we have already held several successful events with the support of the Government of Serbia. On this occasion, I would like to thank the director Arnaud Gouillon and the Minister without Portfolio in charge of the diaspora, \u0110or\u0111e Mili\u0107evi\u0107, for their support and outstanding cooperation. I hope that we will be able to count on the support of these sectors also in the coming period\u2019, said Stankovi\u0107.<\/p>\n
\u2018It is very important that there is one organization, as the Association of Serbian Diaspora Folklore, which brings together our federations so that the diaspora can work together towards the achievement of the main goals \u2013 preservation of Serbian identity, language, culture and tradition and promotion of these values in all the countries where Serbian women and men live outside their motherland\u2019, noted ASSF President Stankovi\u0107.<\/p>\n
